You know, when Nintendo's R&D department designed the Game Boy Advance, I bet they never realized how many development companies would create kart-racing titles for that hardware. We've got kart-racing games featuring Mario characters, Konami characters, Shrek characters, Antz characters....and now Infogrames is getting into the act with a kart-racing game featuring a whole bunch of characters from Nickelodeon cartoons. So it's no surprise that the game's name is Nicktoons Racing.

Though there's not a whole heck of a lot of details on the Game Boy Advance version of Nicktoons Racing, you can expect Mode-7-style graphics and eight player racing featuring such characters as CatDog, Spongebob Squarepants, The Angry Beavers, as well as folks from other cartoons like Rugrats, Ahhhh! Real Monsters, HeyArnold, and Ren & Stimpy. Sorry folks, no Invader Zim in this outing. 12 tracks will be unlockable, each based on the eight Nicktoons licensed for Nicktoons Racing.

Check out the first screens of the GBA version in action. Infogrames will have Nicktoons Racing on the show floor at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
